PRESIDENT TRUMP TO HEADLINE GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR

MUSICIANS PULL OUT OF GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR

I believe that on July 4, 2026, President Trump will host the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington, DC.  I am trying to do a comedic act for the event and already signed up this morning after finding out about it on Google News.

Most of my comedy will do with overcoming my disabilities and some politics.  I will promise to be an EOO Equal Opportunity Offender.   President Trump has the right to celebrate America.  If you do not like him you have the right not to attend the event.  As for me I do like President Trump as a Libertarian.  As always comments accepted.

PRESIDENT TRUMP TO WEIGH PEACE OPTIONS WITH IRAN

NO DEAL WILL BE REACHED WITH IRAN

By: Derek Varsalona

No deal is going to be reached between Iran and President Trump, I predict.  That is because both Trump and the rest of the world want a good war to continue.  The fact is, the world loves war even though they say they hate it.  It increases news ratings, people love to watch the war on TV and YouTube, if that is such a thing these days, or better yet, watch the short version on TikTok.

An agreement to end the war remains uncertain.  Let us face it, there is not going to be a deal to end the war.  Everyone loves a good war, and the people suffer with lives lost and high gas prices.  

The real issue then becomes to drill for oil and worry later.  The fact is, we buy oil from countries that want Americans dead.  So in the end, we are supporting terrorism.

Iran says President Trump must act first.  But does President Trump really want a deal?  The best deal for Trump is if he can acquire land in Iran for a new casino hotel.  The US Navy has a blockade on Iran, which is not going to help the situation and raise oil prices.  As always, comments accepted.

THE WORLD LOVE THE WAR BETWEEN IRAN AND US IT SELLS

 PRESIDENT TRUMP YET TO COMMENT ON IRAN DEAL

By: Derek Varsalona

Let us face it, world, there probably will not be a deal between the United States and Iran.  People close to President Trump claim that there is a deal in place, but President Trump has yet to sign off on it.  That is because President Trump is a war monger, and so is the rest of the world.

America has never shied away from a Great War.  Americans love war.  The media loves it as it increases their ratings, which generates revenue.  A war sells and is good for business.  The oil executives love war since it increases their profits as the price of oil still goes up.

As of right now, President Trump has not given his approval on the Iran-US Agreement.  Do not look for that to come any time soon.  What I think President Trump wants is to take over the Iranian oil supply and the land to build a new casino.  As always, comments are accepted.

The world loves a great war. War sells.

SUPPORT VIRGINIA DISABILITY EVACUATION PLAN

  SUPPORT EMERGENCY MEDICAL DRILLS DISABLED

By: Derek Varslona

                                       NY TIMES DISABILITY FELLOW

The Virginia legislature is now considering passing legislation that would allow emergency medical and evacuation drills for people and organizations with disabilities.   Under this bill, it would become law that emergency medical drills must be conducted to protect the lives and safety of individuals with disabilities.  The law, if signed, will be on my birthday, September 1.

I am definitely in support of this bill.  Every household and business must have an emergency evacuation plan for people with disabilities.  People with disabilities rely on their friends, family, and caregivers for emotional and economic support.  They also rely on others to evacuate them in harmful situations.  Let us support this bill and hopeful law to make it more reasonable for people with disabilities to know how to evacuate in an emergency in a life-threatening or life-altering situation.  As always, comments are accepted.

THE WORLD IS MAKING MONEY OFF IRAN WAR

 THE WORLD ALWAYS WANTED WAR

By: Derek Varsalona

Let's face it, world.  You like war.  That is because war sells, peace doesn't.  If you have peace, you are not making money at the moment.  But every time a war starts, the defense industry makes money.

President Trump and Republicans, for that matter, have never met a war that they didn't like.  That is because war sells.  It sells oil as prices for gasoline and oil keep going up.   As of right now, crude oil is 93.90 a gallon.  The price is going to keep going up as the war drags on.

America, under the direction of President Trump, has launched a fresh new bout of airstrikes in Tehran.  If this keeps up, I am afraid of a terrorist attack here on American soil by Iranian nationals or an attack on an embassy and American interests overseas.

Instead of war, we should conduct peacekeeping missions.  Let America open an embassy in Tehran and Iran open an embassy in Washington, DC.  We had one before President Carter screwed up the Iran-Contra Affair.  As always, comments accepted.

IRAN SHOULD NOT MAKE A ONE SIDED DEAL WITH TRUMP

 IRAN SHOULD NOT SIGN THE PEACE DEAL

By: Derek Varsalona

I really want peace in the Middle East, I really do.  But the current peace deal between the United States and Iran, which is in work, is not a peace deal.  It is a power-hungry grab by President Trump to take over the Straits of Hormuz and control the world's, or if not the region's, oil supply.

A deal is within reach to reopen the Straits of Hormuz.  That is a good thing.  But it is a one-sided deal with the devils of Iran and the United States.  This deal does not accomplish much.  Iran is going to get screwed at the end of the deal.  

The Straits of Hormuz will not open fully.  It will open gradually.   This is going to raise the oil prices in the world, and inflation is going to skyrocket again.  But the world leaders want this will the public does not.  The world leaders want the oil prices to increase to fill their pockets with cash.

There is an answer to combat this.  Drill everywhere in America, drill now and worry later.  As always, comments accepted.

Iran should not take the deal

IRAN AND AMERICA NEAR A PEACE DEAL FINGERS CROSSED

TRUMP AND IRAN REACH POSSIBLE PEACE DEAL

By: Derek Varsalona

President Trump and Iran have reached the possibility of a peace deal.  I would have thought that was impossible.  Iran still claims that they are not giving up their nuclear weapons.  This, after saying their nuclear ambitions are only for peaceful purposes. 

The United States and Iran are close to a peace deal.  With that being said, there needs to be an open dialogue for peace to happen.  What I suggest is that the U.S. open an Embassy in Tehran and that Iran return the favor by opening an Embassy in Washington, DC.  Without an Embassy, I believe in my heart that there is no true consensus for peace.  As always, comments accepted.
